In the Democratic Republic of Congo, at least 11 people were killed and dozens injured after explosions at a mass rally held by the Rwanda-backed M23 group in Bukavu. M23 leaders accused Congolese security forces of orchestrating the attack. Survivors described the chaotic scene.

Musanga Tambwe: “A plastic bag was thrown in front of us over there. We didn’t know what was inside. We were just looking at it. Suddenly, there was an explosion. Poof! We fell to the ground and ran away.”

Some 7,000 people have been killed by the escalating violence since January, with hundreds of thousands displaced from their homes. Click here to see our coverage of the DRC.
